Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
“Medicalization” describes the process by which nonmedical (social) problems are reclassified as medical problems. The process is facilitated by the absence of clear definitions of “health” and “mental disorder”. The drivers of medicalization include not only the medical profession. Everyday distress is medicalized into depression. Suicide has been medicalized and the response to distress and suicidal thinking has become antidepressant medication rather than appropriate social support. Two cases are presented (Robert FitzRoy and Lord Clive). The medicalization of distress and suicidal thinking is damaging rather than being helpful.
